CORE DEFINITION
Using pungent and aromatic substances (such as musk and borneol) to unblock the body's blocked orifices and awaken the unconscious mind.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Forced restart. In cases of stroke coma or high fever with convulsions, the system has crashed. At this point, neither supplementation nor purging is appropriate; instead, use these highly penetrating 'smelling salts' to jolt the spirit awake.
Anchor fast decisions
Opening orifices to awaken the spirit is a treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine for unconsciousness and orifice blockage (such as heat invading the pericardium or phlegm clouding the clear orifices). It uses aromatic and pungent substances to unblock the heart orifices and restore consciousness. It is divided into two types: cold-opening (clearing heat) and warm-opening (dispersing cold and resolving phlegm).
